Oliver wasn't completely surprised by Kradis his response. Lots of rumors and stories where told on the base about the Northern Empire and some where even more wild and disturbing then others. Regardless of what was true, a lot of messed up shit has happened in the north. Oliver guessed Kradis was at some point part of it too. The Jackal's past was none of Oliver's business but still it intrigued him. The North was one hell of a dangerous and messed up place after all. The tiger could not help but to wonder how it is to live there. Oliver looked to the side and responded. "As long as you put enough booze in a man he will talk about the things he's supposed to keep secret. News travels remarkably fast that way. I can't really say that I'm a murderer yet. I've only shot at target dummies so far. We'll have to see what happens in the field. For everything is a first time after all." 

Oliver wanted to continue talking but at that time Colonel Blade started his speech. Oliver listened to the Red Fox as he spoke. For once he decided that there might be something interesting coming from a CO. After all, the setup of this unit was rather uncommon. Especially the part about being selected or for or sent to the unit grabbed Oliver's attention. For a moment he wondered if Blade had selected him based on his file. He hardly deemed that possible considering what was in there. Things like lack of discipline and lack of respect for officers could not be considered selling points not to mention his subpar grades on shooting exercises. Not everything was drama in his file. He did do decent on the computer science course without much effort and had some good grades on wireless communications and security. Also his GEAR piloting skills were very decent for a fresh recruit. None the less the Tiger did not expect to be assigned to a combat unit because of his substandard performance during combat exercises. He considered the option that his father might have pulled some strings forcing him upon this unit. That man had probably also read his file and thought that Oliver would not last very long in a real combat situation. What better way there is to redeem the black sheep of the family by letting him die for king and country. None the less, Oliver was happy that he was assigned to a combat unit. The young Tiger is addicted to danger and action after all. 

The tiger could not care less about what top branch of the LDF would think about him or their stupid political games. Only dicks like his father where up there and they could all go and fuck themselves as far as Oliver was concerned. The only thing that really mattered was his own unit and the people who were in it. Considering the unit was made up from interesting characters and some attractive females the young Tiger was sure he would enjoy his time on the Parvans Claw. 

As Colonel Blade finished his speech Oliver heard the young female artic wolf ask some questions about the unusual incidents and information Silverwind had spoken about in his speech. As he overheard the colonels reaction Oliver could not help to butt in on the conversation. "All wireless communication has a source. It should not be too difficult to determine from where it is transmitted. Especially when it comes to laser-optic signals. I can calibrate the optical sensors on my GEAR to measure light in the spectrum that is invisible to our eyes. That way I can determine the angle of the laser. Since free-space optical communication always has to travel in a straight unobstructed path we know along which line we have to search for the source. There are also methods of locating the source of radio transmissions. With a bit of preparation I think I should be able to provide accurate enough estimates of the locations in such a case." Oliver paused for a second. A lot of technical nerd talk just left his mouth and probably needed some time to sink in. The young tiger turned towards Asher and smiled. "Sorry for ignoring you earlier, I guess I wasn't fully awake yet when entering the Parvan's Claw. I'm Oliver Stone. Nice to meet ya"
